Quote:It's the Warriors' World versions of Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Jim Steinman with the running competition. Doug is an old friend of Madonna's, dating back to before either of them were famous (it was a welcome relief when, in 1988, he could go to her and say "this is why I never saw one of your shows"), and she throws him prerelease copies of her albums for (among others) the reason that she might get some press out of him using one of her songs.
Didn't Bob mention, at one point, here on the fora, that at some point various artists (Madonna, Paul Simon, I forget who) had a friendly under-the-table competition going, to see who could get their songs onto Doug's 'useful' playlist?
Quote:Which is what Madonna counts on.
Heck, if it got publicized that he used them, it'd be a major publicity boost for said artist...
